Re: Convert Non-standard C struct data to standard C struct

That doesn't look like any "standard C" I've ever seen?

mm struct { 
   a = 1;
   b = 3;
   m1 struct = {
     c = 4;
     d = 5;
   }
 }

That doesn't look like any "standard C" I've ever seen? Yeah, I agree. I haven't written C code for the last five or six years, but, to me, a standard C struct declaration usually looks more like this: `struct date { int day; int month; int year; } struct my_record_type { long key; int size; char text[128]; struct date birthdate; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Yup! Pre-ANSI C allowed untyped vars to default to ints, but that did not extend to struct members; you cannot initialise struct members individually; and you don't assign the curlies to the tagname With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Yes, and I also chose my example in a way to show how to declare nested structures, which is quite different from the OP's example.	[reply]

Yes, sorry for the unclear expression, but I can not find a more proper way to elaborate my problem. I want to change the data to have the format which is like C struct. This is the data I got from other guys which turn the original C struct into this.	[reply]

I think a more proper way to elaborate your problem would be to provide an accurate explanation of what the output should look like. Is it supposed to be valid C? Or is it supposed to be exactly the syntax that you provided as an example output? Because if it's supposed to be valid C, what you provided isn't. And if it's not, then why confuse the issue by calling something that isn't C, C? Dave	[reply]
